Ever since the beginning of time, man has always been fascinated with predicting or looking into the future. They have always wanted to see what it has in store for them. And this process is called divination. It is the act of gaining insight into a situation, or in some aspect question, through an occultic process. And throughout history, many forms have already been used. However, man's needs for divination is insatiable that is why people have learned to seek the future with the use of the different tools for divination. If you want to skip having to personally see a person who has psychic powers, then do take note of these tools and forms of divination to save time. Tarot cards. Tarot cards are used for tarot reading. There is really nothing very special in these cards since these have initially been used as a game card played in Medieval Europe and France. However, there were people who have the skill to predict the future using their intuition in reading what are wr

All throughout history, with the advent of astrology, numerology and the tarot, civilizations of different culture have also become interested in matters of fortune-telling, with many people asking their future from psychics . Fortune-telling is basically the practice of predicting events and happenings about a person's life. Its scope is said to be in principle identical with the practice of divination, with a difference that fortune-telling implies it is done in a less serious or formal setting. History of Fortune-Telling Here are quick points of interest about fortune-telling history and origin: it is said that fortune-telling, historically-speaking, emerges out of folkloristic reception of Renaissance magic, specifically associated with Gypsies it is also believed that fortune telling have hundreds of techniques, many of which date back to before recorded history there is evidence that indicates there are forms of fortune-telling that were practiced in ancie

What can the sign of Virgo do for astrology? Virgo is about service, efficiency and a critica look. It is the sign of the servant, but there are leaders among those born under Virgo! I name: George wallace, Yasser Arafat, Margereth Trudeau and Lyndon Johnson. Virgo is supposed to discriminate and be of help, like most of us. When you are born under the astrological sign of Virgo, you are supposed to that in the spotlights or the spotlight is on your efficiency. So how can Virgo (the sign, not the human being born under Virgo), do for astrology? - keep up the standards and never believe it all - contribute perfect data - find ways to use astrology in every day's life (without drifting away, I mean) I found the records of a female Virgo astrologen. Her name seems to come out of a Harry Potter-book: Zipporah Dobyns. She was born August 21, 9:48 PM CST in Chicago and died June 7, 2003 in San Diego, 81 years old. This is her chart. Uranus has a special position and is opposition Mercu

Saturn is the symbol of endings. Inconjuncts are reflecting lack of balance and loss. An inconjunct with Saturn is not the recipe for a happy ending. Check the label (on the right) 'inconjunct Saturn' and what you get are bitter examples of lame ducks and illness. The inconjunct is also the aspect of giving up. The progressed chart of Lance Armstrong now has Sun inconjunct Saturn and he faces (Sun) loss of decorum (inc Saturn) while mistakes (Saturn) are in the spotlight (☀) in an unbalancing way. He gave up fighting and he lost his medals. Read More @ Source What is astrology aquariusign@live.co.uk email me if you want more information about this age Video Rating: 0 / 5

In my blog Art & Horoscope I mentioned the chart of Salvador Dali . His chart is an example of the influencial progressed chart. The progressed chart is the chart for the xth day after birth, valid for the xth year after birth. The progressed chart tells us about the course of life, how we change, develop and get chances (or not). The birth chart gives the tools and the progressed chart shows the way. The progressed chart of Salvador Dali had Mercury conjunct Venus when the progressed Sun changed sign. His life changed when somebody came to teach him how to draw! The chart of Salvador Dali made me think about finding the best profession for a person at a certain age . Because people develope and change and some of us change late. Maybe too late to make a fresh new start, but sometimes the change was more gradual and only adding experience or a new style. Salvador Dali was thought how to draw and he had basic talents. He had the right stimulating teacher, he was encouraged int

A year and one month ago there were explosions in Oslo and a killer with an automatic gun shot and killed dozens on an island nearby. What did the charts of the people involved have to do with it? In this blog I want to share my thoughts about the role of the individual chart in times of group disaster (or glory). And I show you a strange interaction between the charts of the killer and the victims (even though he didn't even know them personally). CHARTS HELP? When disasters kill and injure many persons at the same time and place, astrologers are asked about the value of a chart. Some astrologers seek the tragic group destiny in the individual's chart. Others have difficult  theories about groups of persons brought together to pay for an invisible  guilt or fault in their past lives (I consider that an awful and unproven accusation, blaming victims). Fact is, that in a mass event there can't be a joint transit or progression. That is because it doesn't matter who you

Normally in astrology , we often just take into consideration one's zodiac sign or animal sign to distinguish and determine one's personality and behavior. However, we neglect to see that in order to get your astrological sign or horoscope sign, we have to also consider your birth month. Indeed, the 12 months of the year have meaning to astrology. Here is a shortlist of the meanings of the months. January. It is the start of the year. It is also the start of the Julian and Gregorian calendars. And since it is the beginning, this 31-day month is named after the Roman deity, who opened gates and doors, named Janus. Ably represented by two faces, this means that he looked after the house which he guards. February. This is the only month with only 28 days. Occasionally on leap years, it has 29 days. The name February was taken from the word Februare which means to purify. It is from this name that the term Februa came about which referred to the festival of expiation whic

Recently I saw parts of the movie 'I nto the wild ' again. It is about Christopher McCandless (picture above), who got into trouble and died of starvation on a road trip to Alaska, alone. They estimated that he died on August 18, 1992, now 20 years ago. He left a diary and notes and a book was written about his experiences, followed by a movie. I think that much of what happened, happened because of the tightest aspect in his chart, the trine between Mars and Neptune. Don't get me wrong! I know that there is more! For example: the Sun semi square Saturn and inconjunct Pluto (die hard combination; difficulties and restrictions), Sun biquintile Uranus and semi square Saturn (breaking free), the Sun square Neptune and inconjunct Pluto (the silent force, the mystery), or Sun conjunct Pholus (risk to shoot your own foot; the catalyst).  Sun in Aquarius biquintile Uranus means a creative way to be independent and free. It is a sort of an ultimate Aquarian dream that tur

Venus is about to make a quindecile with my Venus (and an opposition with my midpoint Sun/Moon). It happened before, but I never noticed the aspect. A quindecile is the symbol of obsession and strong focus. Venus is about love and pleasure. It seems OK to love to have fun and it is still weekend:). Maybe it is about the choco softies? I remember a Venus quindecile Venus synastry and today is a perfect day to tell it again.  Today is the birthday of late Coco Chanel. During the Second World War she fell in love with a German officer and it is believed that the relationship continued even after war. She never married. Her Venus was quindecile his Venus, obsessive love...Is that good or is that bad? It certainly was difficult in WW2. LINKS  I have written about her controversial love before. His Uranus - her Sun and vice versa seems a very efficient way to mirror how shocking their love was in those days.  http://astropost.blogspot.nl/2011/08/coco-chanel-in-love-and-war.html Though it i

They think that they found the crashed plane of Amelia Earhart. This happens, now that the progressed Sun of her chart is conjunct Uranus (symbol of news) and she is in the newspapers again. On the day that she vanished there were a few exact transits that I would like to show you: - Transit Saturn was conjunct Progressed Mars shortly after the last radio contact (dead end) - Progressed Midheaven received an inconjunct coming from transit Pluto (a challenging position with a loss involved) - Progressed Ascendant was conjunct natal Neptune (misty circumstances; situation unclear) It happened in the year that her Progressed Sun had joined Jupiter, the symbol of success. Jupiter is also the ruler of Sagittarius on the cusp of the 8th house of life and death. Her job was rather dangerous. PS Isn't it amazing that her Sun doesn't make major aspects in sign or orb 5 degrees and that she is being mentioned as ' a natural leader'? This 'calling' Sun urges

I tweet and I blog and sometimes I do both to tell you this on a August 15 with Mars conjunct Saturn: a. JULIA CHILD BORN 100 YEARS AGO Today it is 100 years ago that Julia Child (the cook) was born. But she wasn't born a cook. She became one later, when it was time to cook, according to her chart. Read about the progressions, about Ceres and about her chart here: http://astropost.blogspot.nl/2011/06/chart-and-progressions-of-julia-child.html b. MARS CONJUNCT SATURN Mars-Saturn is very important in the synastry (relationship astrology) of Julie and Julia the cook (you know the movie? Julie blogged about Julia's recipes and Julia didn't like that) http://astropost.blogspot.nl/2011/06/julie-julia-synastry-and-julie-powells.html  Or read about Mars-Saturn synastry in general: http://astropost.blogspot.nl/2011/01/mars-and-saturn-in-synastry.html Mars-Saturn is for discipline (and being disciplined). Read about this aspect on my site Astromarkt: h ttp://astromarkt.net/mars-in-

Have you gone to a party and saw someone stealing the show by putting on a "psychic" stint? If he really is not a real psychic , then most probably, he is doing a cold reading. Cold reading is an art and method wherein the guesser tries to express thoughts about a certain person, his chosen subject, by analyzing his body language, reactions, actions, clothing, fashion sense, gender, sexual orientation and others. Therefore, it is really more about making the most probable guesses on the subject. It is a shallower type of psychic reading. Here are some ways of doing the cold reading. Select and subject. The subject is the one you are going to do the cold reading on. You can do this by either choosing one ahead of time or by asking for a volunteer on the spot. The beauty with the first way is that you can have the chance to get to know the person better before your "show", making it easier for you to do your reading. On the other hand, you may also opt to get a

Do you know that astrology and numerology are interconnected? Do you know that astrology, the study of patterns and relationships between the positions of the sun, moon, and other planetary objects at the time of our birth to predict of explain aspects of our personality or events in our life history, and numerology, the study of numbers and their influences on us , can be integrated and used inter-connectedly in mapping your horoscope, finding meanings in your life? The Science of Heavenly Numbers Astro-Numerology, the perfect integration between the science of the Heavens (astrology) and the Science of Numbers (numerology), is the study of the combination or integration of birth chart or horoscopes (astrology), and numerological significance of your date of birth and name in readings for finding coincidences and meaning in your life. At the heart of astrology is said to be the universal principle that "mathematical relationships express qualities or 'tones' o

It is a very violent time in Mexico right now. There is a drug war going on with many murders. There is also a story about domestic violence at the top. They say that the wife of the man who won the 2012 elections is the victim of domestic violence and that she even had to spent time in hospital (in March) because he had beaten her up. Angelica Rivera (nick name 'La Gaviota') is a famous actress. Here is her chart with transits (actual positions) and progressions (birthday + one day for one year): Watch the Mars-Pluto combination: - natal Mars semi square Pluto - transit Pluto inconjunct Mars When a transit is between planets that make an aspect in the natal chart, this transit has a strong effect. Mars-Pluto is a brutal combination. Pluto always intensifies. Mars is the symbol of drive, action and aggression. I've written a lot about Mars-Pluto here and on Astromarkt.  It isn't an easy aspect to deal with. It is in the charts of violent men/women and th

There is a reason for the symbol of confusion above this post. This is about the confusing mix of fantasy and crime in the chart of Thomas Quick (born as: Sture Ragnar Bergwall). Thomas Quick was born in Sweden on April 26, 1950. He lives in a psychiatric institution since 1990, after a bank robbery. He confessed a number of murders, but some of the victims turned up alive and well, others were never found. What he did or didn't do is unknown. His hour of birth is unknown, too.  It is certain that he committed a crime, but uncertain what and when or why. Here are 10 observations about his chart. There are 9 keys to his convincing lies in the natal chart and when he was convicted in 1990, you see the planet of fantasy in an interesting aspect. This is the chart with transits and progressions of the day when they convicted him for being criminally insane. He was taken to a hospital and that is when he started to 'confess' more crimes and murders. Here are 10 astrologi

Guess what happened... Today the Moon in Aries (1) was square my natal Uranus 5 around 16 o'clock local time. Transit Uranus in 1 was exactly square my natal Uranus. Transit Mars was exactly conjunct my natal Neptune in 7. What kind of experience do you think that I had? I'll tell you all about it! It was an exciting mistake. (Uranus for excitement and upheavel, Neptune for shame and confusion...) It was 'exciting'! That was because I rushed through the office, alarmed the security and was looking all over to find my big white bag with car keys and car papers. I was convinced that I left them in locker number 64, but I couldn't find the key in my purse and than I found that locker open, without the bag. Oops! Apparently I hadn't left the bag in a locker, I thought. And recently some of my coworkers had been robbed of their radio, money, bag…So I first checked to see if my car was still in the garage. Then I checked all the toilet rooms and all the rooms o

A lot has been published on Astropost and on Astromarkt.net about winning the lottery and about the chart of winners of the lottery. The examples on my sites shared a couple of things. I quote myself: The natal charts of the winners are similar when it comes to certain aspects: Mercury-Jupiter, Mars-Jupiter, Jupiter-Uranus, (all for success), Venus-Saturn (for carefull manangement of the money) and Venus-Pluto (the money combination). The lady in the guess chart has two of these aspects in the natal chart: Venus inconjunct Saturn and Jupiter exactly trine Uranus.  Her natal Sun and Midheaven are between Venus and Pluto (the money axis). The transits on the day that she won the lottery, are: Transit Uranus trine Sun (a pleasant change, surprise). Uranus is ruler of the 5th house of entertainment and games (like the lottery!) Transit Pholus quindecile Sun (a focus on a turning point in life) Those are two indications for something beginning to change her life.  And let'

Here is another chance to try if you can find out what happened in the life of the well known woman with this chart, on July 5, 2007. It is not so important to know that she is a woman, what her profession is etc. in this case. What happened to her could have happened to anybody. Really?:) Find out and first have a good look at the natal chart and aspects. Mind the nature of the aspects. I found this chart on a site that didn't mention the source of the hour of birth. So please try to find out what happened based on this: Transit Uranus trine Sun Transit Pholus quindecile Sun Transit Saturn conjunct Jupiter Transit Saturn trine Uranus Transit Venus conjunct Jupiter But because of the significance of the house rulers (making me think that the hour of birth is correct): mind the houses! Of course, you can't know what happened exactly. But you might have a clue about the nature of the event: nice or nasty. And you might just guess what the event was about. However: it is eas

One blog ago I presented a guess chart and asked you to to try to find out what happened to the lady with that chart in April 1958. Here is the answer to that question.  (See the guess chart here http://astropost.blogspot.nl/2012/07/guess-what-happened-in-1958.html if you want to give it a try). Here is that chart again: CIRCUMSTANCES AND NATAL CHART! Of course, you can't just start making a guess. You need to know about gender, culture, social position and natal chart before you start looking at the transits and progressions. I should have told the readers of this blog that it is about a not western high society lady. 1. Radix Venus inconjunct MC: this is the aspect pointing at a position in society (MC) too much (inconjunct) related to wealth, beauty, women or being a woman (Venus). Venus is in the 5th house of children and 'the other gender' This woman didn't have children. She also never had a lover (again). But she was very rich and had a 'jet set' l
